Julia Indichova is an American reproductive healthcare activist and author. She is best known for her book Inconceivable: A Woman’s Triumph Over Despair and Statistics (2001), which was hailed by Library Journal as “an important consumer health resource…the first such book written from the patient’s point of view.” In 1997 Indichova founded FertileHeart.com, a global, patient driven community, focused on health enhancing approaches to reproductive health.
Indichova’s second book, The Fertile Female: How the Power of Longing for a Child Can Save Your Life and Change the World (2007), documents the evolution of The Fertile Heart™ Ovum Practice, an original mind body program that grew out of Indichova’s personal experience and her work with women and couples who sought her guidance after the publication of Inconceivable. In the last two decades a growing number of studies and leading reproductive endocrinologists have validated Indichova’s whole-person approach to overcoming infertility.
Julia Indichova was born and raised in Košice, Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of World War II. Her older brother, two grandmothers and an aunt were murdered by the Nazis and both of her parents were concentration camp survivors. Attempting to come to terms with this legacy of violence has been a driving force in her life from an early age.
Indichova started working as a professional actress at the age of ten, and went on to study acting at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. In June 1969, a year after the 1968 Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, she immigrated to the United States and in 1972 received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater Arts and Russian from Montclair State College.
For the next fifteen years Indichova worked in the post-production film department of the American Broadcasting Company, and later as an actress, dancer, director and producer in New York City and the New York Metropolitan area.
